This study tests whether the visible diversity of voluntary carbon markets translates into effective diversification once credit volumes and vintage exposure are considered. Analyzing 11,468 projects and 2.655 GtCO2e issued across six regis…

Meng Yu

This study builds a low-carbon evaluation index system for highway reconstruction and expansion using the Delphi method, applied to a section of the Changshen Expressway in China. It assesses new technologies such as waste-material reuse, p…

GhaPEF v0.3 is an open cradle-to-gate emission-factor library for Ghana. It provides environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) factors in kg CO2e per 2022 Ghana cedi at producer prices, bundled with a scenario engine for supply-chain emi…

Suzuki T.

This work examines how environmental attributes are allocated and accounted for across products. It assesses the applicability and limitations of non-proportional allocation within mass balance models, aiming for credible and comparable acc…

Fang B.

A data-driven method to derive the dynamic characteristics of marginal emission factors (MEF) in power systems. It aims to refine time-varying emission factors reflecting the generation mix, supporting more accurate Scope 2 accounting and d…

Yang H.

A study assessing greenhouse gas emission factors in wastewater treatment. Without an abstract, details are unclear, but it likely supports more accurate accounting of emissions from wastewater processes, relevant to Scope 1 inventories for…

Tombak M.L.

A comparative study of methods for calculating greenhouse gas emissions across Baltic Sea ports. It appears to examine differences in emission-measurement frameworks at logistics hubs, though details are unavailable without an abstract. It …

Iamchamnan P.

This study quantifies the organizational carbon footprint of a frozen processed seafood factory and explores strategies to cut its GHG emissions. It identifies emission sources across factory operations and assesses practical reduction opti…

Fia Rahma, Achmad Luthfi Chamidi

A PRISMA-based systematic review of 31 papers examining how green accounting tools (EMA, MFCA, carbon accounting) are embedded in sustainable business strategy. Internalizing environmental costs is linked to green innovation, lower cost of …
